Better to ask, what I did not like in which case I wouldn't have to answer anything. The location for course is unique, but so is the quality of the rooms and facilities and last but not least the star.

This is the second time I’ve stayed in this hotel; both times to celebrate the anniversary with my girlfriend. I informed the staff about the occasion after the booking so that we could have a little decoration in the room. I booked a room with view on the Pearl Tower, but we received a free upgrade to a suite with an amazing view on the the Pearl Tower and the river, and we were offered an additional bottle of wine and some cake! The staff was amazing; and the pool with the view on Lujiazui alone is worth the price. Excellent and rich breakfast. Honestly, could not ask for more! I wish to thank once again the staff for helping making this (again) an unforgettable night! Simply perfect

The decor, rooms, gym, location, service was amazing! The best hotel I've stayed at in China! The service was next level. The cocktails at the lobby bar were incredible too. The breakfast was so good, love how you can order off the menu and order several dishes as well as choose from the buffet.

    I stayed in a room with a king size bed, very spacious, stylish and comfortable. The staff are very professional and helpful, the restaurant was fine. I was only there 2 days but enjoyed it's ambience. There are some food places and coffee shops nearby and a supermarket. If shopping is your thing you should visit Nanjing Rd which has malls, designer shops, food places, I guess it's Shanghai's Oxford street [London].
